Samuel & God

Samuel 1-12

Once again, God is ruthless warrior.

“The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them; the Lord shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed” Samuel 2:10

It is clearly Staten on the bible that he is powerful and sinister. He is exactly as the bad guy of all the Hero movies. God could be that person that is always behind a chair in darkness and only appears at the very end. He is the feared ruler and the one that ends up dying at the end. Makes me wonder if this book is included on the Sunday church’s bible. This doesn’t really imply that God is bad, but its just a whole new image of him. I guess that stories change according to the time period and the necessities at the moment. For instance, God was a freedom warrior back then and now, he is a peace promoter and if you think about it. They needed war back then, to be free. In addition, us, that are already free, need peace to keep things that way.
